Flamengo defeated Botafogo 3-0 last Sunday at the Maracanã, and the third goal of the match, scored by Carrascal at 43 minutes of the second half, gained international repercussion. Several foreign profiles on social media praised the quality of the red-and-black team's play.
The play started with Carrascal, who took advantage of a misplaced pass by Marçal already in the attacking field. The Colombian touched the ball to Jorginho, who quickly set up Samuel Lino. The two combined, and Carrascal received a beautiful heel assist from Everton Cebolinha before shooting firmly into the corner of goalkeeper Gabriel Batista, closing the score.
On social media, international profiles defined the play as "the most Brazilian goal in recent times: scandalous." Another profile went so far as to claim that Flamengo is superior to teams like Chelsea, Borussia Dortmund, and Atlético de Madrid.
With the victory, Flamengo secured three more points in the chase for leader Palmeiras in the Brazilian Championship.
